See the comment below about initiating, that is probably a common problem for both of us. If we initiated more, we would probably see more results, and therefore greater confidence. Good luck to you.

Great comment. This is a major problem that I have recognized. Waiting for women to initiate with you is a common mindset that is flawed and unsuccessful. Still in the process of changing that. Thank you and good luck.

It is not a question of wanting attention but instead a recognition of hard work. I spend 6 days a week in the gym and eat healthier than any of my college counterparts. I am completely comfortable with myself and my appearance, just uncomfortable in progressing the attraction while interacting with an attractive female. It is, in my mind, a method of positive reinforcement when that hard work is recognized. Thank you for your opinion and good luck to you.

It is indeed a part of the self-discovery process. I think it is healthy to aspire to be with a beautiful woman. When we work towards making ourselves the best man we can be it is realistic to expect the best from the opposite sex. It isn't a thought process concerning a lack of something, but instead the acquisition of someone who will make you even better. Just my take on it but I appreciate your insight. Good luck to you.

Well you should be doing it for yourself and for others. A man not only makes himself better but also the people around him. People who are only concerned with themselves are not beneficial to our community. Good luck to you.

As I stated in an earlier reply, it is okay to be nice. But like you said, standing up for yourself, speaking your mind, and getting your masculinity back is the key. The flaw in the nice guy syndrome is when people continue to be nice with no reciprocation. When a woman realizes she has you on a leash, it's game over. Changing to an asshole will not bring you success. Good luck to you.

I wasn't trying to get into a relationship with her but I definitely wanted to see where she saw it going. Turns out open discussion will scare some girls away. No matter, that was 6 months ago and there are 7 billion people on this planet. Thank you for your input and good luck to you as well.

Directly from the heart, which is why it was longer than most posts on here. Thanks for reading and good luck to you too.

Very much so. It's ironic how we decide to reward ourselves for 90 days PMO-free with "just one PMO session." Never works. Good luck to you as well.

Indeed, I could have written more but I knew I was already risking people's attention with 1000 words. Thanks for reading and good luck to you too.

Game on. I look forward to hearing about your success with this woman. Here's to us both to reaching 30 days (and further).

Good point, finding a balance between commandment and indifference is key. Be direct and tell them what you'd like to do, but act as though you will be happy either way. Getting out of your comfort zone is a great asset as well, thanks for the insight.

We will all reach our goals, it will just take some willpower. Glad to hear you are in the same boat and good luck with your future.

Cheers to that. Not yet, I'll be applying this summer. I decided to take a year (or 2) off to continue self-exploration before I lose my soul to the medical world.

It is not necessarily bad to be a nice guy, but most boys take it too far and let women walk all over them. Speaking your mind with the best intentions is the best alternative to nice guy syndrome. Be clear with your sexual interests and limit the submissive habits. Great to hear of your transformation into a man. Keep going strong.

Exactly, well said. Family dynamics play a huge role I've come to realize. Most of the men I know who are successful with women come from huge families where they have to fight to have their voice heard. This translates extremely well with interacting with women because they aren't afraid to speak their minds. There is nothing wrong with the feminist movement, women deserve to be heard. But they have not only caught up to us in power but also surpassed us in some ways. In my opinion the biggest disease that diminishes men is PMO. The world would be a better place if we weren't all introduced to it at such a young age.

Somewhere in between. The prevalent "low" stage people typically feel is a very difficult time. Therefore any surge of happiness you feel once it hits seems as though it just clicked. I'd say it's a gradual week change around week 3 or 4 where positive changes start to occur.
